One for any Nickelback nuts out there....

Ok, I am getting conflicting information about what basses Mike Kroeger used on Silver Side Up. Russ(Xo_Bionic) tells me it is a Spector, whereas I have seen him using only warwicks in the studio. If you;ve heard the track, is it spector or warwick?

Lol, apparently he did use a Fender P bass, but I doubt it on that track. He does use dingwall, but only Tobias and Warwick are credited on SSU, yet he used Spector on part of the SSU tour. Apprently he also used Dingwall on that tour. I'm totally confused.

He did use a thumb, fact. Also used several streamers. I got Will(whafrodamus) to download the track, and he thinks it's a streamer stage 2's sound. All those that can, please take a listen to this track, as it is my fave bass tone ever.

I believe the story is that he used Tobias and Warwick basses on the album but for the subsequent tour he began to use Spectors after falling in love with some American 5 strings... or so i heard somewhere. Bass Player did an article on him a while back, maybe check that out.

Where can I find the article? And what bass in paticular was it on Never Again?

The water cured redwood burl bass I posted about in another thread was the third one (if the Spector rep told my dealer the truth...). Mr. Kroeger got the second. The rep mentioned him acquiring a couple other NS-5XL basses as well. I don't know about the past, but it is easy to tell what he will be using for the forseeable future...

A what? I have found out what basses he was using in march/april of this year(thanks to steve). They are:
Streamer Stage 1
Thumb
2 Laklands
1 Walnut Burl Spector, 1 Maple Spector(he has more than this I know for sure).
At least 1 Dingwall
A pre-gibson Tobias Toby

I don't know how many of those he had when he recorded Silver Side Up, but let's say he had all of them. I'll leave it to you guys to work out which one he used, as some of you will have more idea of what they all sound like. personally, I think it was probably a streamer stage 1, but im most probably wrong.
